Silly que4stion but did any one actually drill that ice to check how thick it was?? How thick was it?/ It looks pretty black/thin to me.

Noel,
I can answer that question for Aaron, I was the guy flying the Kitfox, Aaron was in the Yellow and Blue Kolb and our friend Scott was in the White Kolb. We did not have to drill the ice, it was over a foot thick with trucks and fishing shacks already on it, that year we had hardly any snow just cold up until then. Landing was a new experience because the ice was as slick as it looks.

I can relate to slick ice....the first year I moved back to Michigan,
we had a really fast freeze, and the ice was absolutely clear except
for a few bubbles and some cracks that let you determine its
thickness...about 4". I got my skates on and was tentatively skating
around, and it was the weirdest feeling I've ever had...the brain
reacted to the vision of ice so clear that the feeling was that you
were walking/skating on water. My brain said this isn't possible, and
it told me to get the hell out of there. It took a while to overcome
this feeling. You could see bottles, cans, leaves, an old tire, all
the stuff that is always there, but crystal clear...not as seen in
the summer through the murk. For over 40 years I've skated on
artificial ice, and that is always translucent. That's why this was
such a mind boggler.
Who said old guys always need to tell stories? : )

I had to question it as I have seen a lot of ice (Salt water) but none of it
is a clear as that stuff. When we see ice that black it is usually only
millimetres thick.

Hi Noel.
I agree.
Ice that colour scares the begeebers out of me...
